Grilled shrimp in garlic sauce

Ingredients:

• 12 large peeled shrimp
• 0.5 cup canola oil
• 10 cloves of garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon coarsely crushed hot red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon ground fennel seeds
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 110 g unsalted butter
• Zest and juice of one large lemon
• 1 tbsp. chopped tarragon leaves
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves, plus sprigs for garnish
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves, plus extra for garnish

Preparation:

1. Place the shrimp in a large baking dish.
2. Combine canola oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, and fennel seeds in a small food processor and process until the garlic forms a paste. Toss the shrimp with the paste and marinate for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat grill to high heat.
4. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill the shrimp until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. (Tip: You can cook the shrimp halfway through as they will continue to simmer in the butter sauce.) Transfer the shrimp to a plate.
5. Melt the butter in a large saucepan set on the grill grate. Add the lemon juice and zest, tarragon leaves, and thyme, and cook for 30 seconds. Stir the shrimp into the sauce and cook for 1 minute. Add the parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter and garnish with thyme and parsley.
